Bathurst   16 Jul 2025
 
GOING: N

BCIT SOLUTIONS PACE 1730m

Track: FAST   Clear (Max: 12)    

PABLO ROCKS (3) is a newcomer to the Nathan Turnbull yard from Victoria. Hasn't raced for eight months but is proven fresh having opened the last campaign with a Melton win. A recent trial win suggests he is in good order and he draws to advantage. DORRISTOPAYTHEBILL (1) placed fresh then was far from disgraced from a wider draw last start at Wagga. Will be fitter for these hitouts and gets the ace draw. CHEER FOR MITCH (2) is a query returning after 16 months but strikes at 50 per cent here and draws well. Has trialled so watch the betting. A LIL BIT OF LOVE (4) led and faded when well fancied last start at Wagga but is capable of better.
